Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried pineapple, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) almond flour
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) honey
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Coating:
- Additional unsweetened shredded coconut for rolling
Instructions
- Blend dried pineapple, shredded coconut, almond flour, honey, vanilla extract, sea salt, and melted coconut oil in a food processor until the mixture becomes cohesive and slightly sticky.
- Using clean hands, gently scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into uniform, compact bite-sized spheres.
- Create a separate shallow dish with additional shredded coconut for coating the balls evenly, rotating each sphere to ensure complete coverage.
- Arrange the coconut-coated balls on a parchment-lined tray, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Refrigerate the prepared balls for a minimum of 30 minutes to help them firm up and enhance their texture.
- Once chilled, transfer the no-bake balls to an airtight container, ensuring they remain fresh and maintain their structural integrity.
- Consume within one week when stored in the refrigerator, enjoying the tropical fusion of pineapple and coconut flavors.
Notes
- Swap honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the sweet, tropical flavor profile.
- Toast the shredded coconut before coating the balls to enhance the nutty, caramelized taste and add a delightful crunch.
- Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller for perfectly uniform, bite-sized treats that look professionally prepared and consistent.
- For those with nut allergies, replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour or coconut flour to keep the recipe safe and equally delicious.
